What a lovely store!

I recently read about Loopy Mango in New York Times and it sounded like a great place to visit on my next trip to NY and I go there quite often. I don't normally have time to go to Brooklyn, but I was so glad I did--I've never been to Dumbo before and the area is so cute. You get a great view of Manhattan skyline. Anyway, back to Loopy Mango. I picked up a couple of dresses and a cashmere sweater, everything fit perfectly and one of the dresses was by a new designer Mischen (I haven't heard that label before) and I absolutely loved it. I also fell in love with one of the mirrors there, but since I live in Chicago, it would be too expensive to ship it there, I wish I lived in New York! Also, there's a very cute children's store called Pomme around the corner from Loopy Mango--they have the most adorable children's clothes I've ever seen!

• Pros: great selection of new designers, excellent prices
• Cons: I wish I lived in NY!!!

Ready for a truly unique style? That is what this boutique is all about!

It's been fun to see the store evolve from hand-made crochet and vintage to the epitome of style and fashion.

Whenever I am in a mood for a nice dress, or a feminine blouse, or a unique accessory - I go to Loopy Mango. They have both casual and evening wear, and finding my size (M) is usually not a problem.

People in DUMBO should feel lucky - it is a SOHO-level boutique at lower prices :)))

• Pros: Emerging designers, Unique items, Frequent new features, Great atmosphere

Great jewelry & dresses

Loopy Mango is one of my favorite stores! The other reviewer that talked about Marc Jacobs & vintage stuff must be talking about some other store. May be their old store has vintage, but at the new one on Front St. all the clothing is new and I haven't seen anything by Marc Jacobs. I definitely remember seeing Tracy Reese, Rachel Roy, Tocca (I bought a very cute Tocca dress myself), etc. and some less known designers that I don't remember the names of, but all the collection appears to be current, not last season. I saw the same Rachel Roy dress on their website too. I brought a few of my friends to this store and they all love it! I'm so glad they're in the neighborhood, I can do all my shopping for clothes without going to Manhattan. And their jewelry selection is amazing too--the whole store is so adorable, it's like a beautiful jewelry box itself.

• Pros: great jewelry, dresses, jeans
